Tool Open

A small tool for a big job

The new Tool Open brings mobile laser welding to perfection. Without the timeconsuming toil of dismounting large tools or molds, you can accomplish on-site repairs and enjoy the advantages of laser welding as a flexible and location-independent process.

Goes anywhere

With swiftness and precision, a weight-compensated hinged bracket arm brings the welding head in position over the workpiece. With a range of 1.70 m horizontally and of 1.80 m in height you should be able to reach your target even on the largest molds or tools. The alignment of the positioning axes parallel to the welding seam makes for an intuitive control of the traveling paths. During the welding process the system is controlled via a joystick. Usually it is sufficient to control one axis only.

Everything on board – everything in view

150 W of laser power, integrated water/air cooling unit, positioning arm and XYZ-axes system – you will find everything neatly integrated into a compact and mobile unit. For surveillance of the halogenlamp- or LED-illuminated processing area, a microscope or a camera with LCD screen are available – also in a trinocular configuration, if desired. The removable system control box allows programming close to the workpiece.

Optimal beam quality – precise weld seams

The Nd:YAG laser with the patented Sweet Spot resonator® combines optimal first pulse behavior with the best possible beam quality. The laser was specially optimized for deployment with optical fibers. Pulse shaping and a motorized focus adjustment of 0.4 to 1.6 mm expand your options in setting weld seams, thus reducing post-processing and making your repairs even more cost-effective.

ROFIN / BAASEL LASERTECH covers the entire range of laser deposit welding applications in mold and die production. Together with our partners in the tool and mold making industries, our technical staff will find the perfect solution for your individual application.
